</div>I can't remember when I fiddled around with a channels.conf the last<br>
time. Shouldn't be necessary.<br>

</div>You could use the "database editing script" from<br>
<a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Database_editing_script" target="_blank">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Database_editing_script</a> after doing a full<br>
scan. Once you edited it to your needs it saves you a lot of time. The<br>
lines in my script look something like this.<br>
<br>
update channel set<br>
visible=1,channum=1,xmltvid="<a href="http://london.bbc1.bbc.co.uk" target="_blank">london.bbc1.bbc.co.uk</a>",icon="/home/mythtv/.mythtv/channels/bbc_one_london.jpg",useonairguide="0",commmethod="-2"<br>
where callsign="BBC ONE" ;<br>

</blockquote></div><br>Thank you. But shouldn't Myth be able to update existing channels that have changed? Do i really have to start all over every time? I hope it wont be to often, but anyway. Updating channels seems like a valid feature for a TV recording application like Myth.<br>
<br>I do hope that i do something wrong and someone knows the way to do it right. Because the obvious way, as i see it, dont work.<br><br>/Stefan<br><br>
